Most studs have coase threads to screw into the casting,or aluminum parts. Don't think fine threads would hold up well in casting or aluminum, because the amount of metal between the thread pitches(or maybe should be called ridges) would be too thin to take nuch stress. some studs have a flattened thread surface on the threads to keep them tight once you get it in the casting. A fine thread nut should torque down probably much easier than a coarse thread, and would have more holding power, would think that anyway. A head is much easier to install on the studs because they keep the gasket lined up in place, and also serve as pilot guides to place the head over, therefore lessing the chance of gasket damage, or dropping the head on ones toes! Ouch!! These are not technically correct from an engineering standpoint, just some things I have learned over the years.
